Eladard

Eladard is a planet in the Lylat System. Its surface was littered with many factories, all once used by the forces of Venom led by Andross during his unexpected resurgence. As a result, its atmosphere was horribly polluted and little could live there.

This stage on Eladard has two halves: first half will be at the actual surface of the planet similar to Corneria and Venom and second half is some sort of industrial highway or elevated road similar to Venom's Highway. Like Space Armada and Fortuna, Eladard had two checkpoints. The boss on Eladard is Galactic Rider.

After the initial cancellation of Star Fox 2, it is possible that Eladard's characteristics were given to Zoness and/or Macbeth. The necessity to destroy a barrier to gain access to the base was the likely inspiration for Bolse as well.

In Nintendo World, Venom's Highway is reused on Eladard since Venom Level 2 was taken out.

EGM, who covered the "WCES 95 beta" on March 1995, listed the planet as Eledard. It is possible that it was under a different name at some point in development, or was going to be renamed before cancellation.
